A Longmont woman pleaded for her life in the moments before her ex-boyfriend shot and killed her early Tuesday morning.

Daniel Sanchez told a Weld County dispatcher moments after the fatal gunshot that he killed his ex-girlfriend, her sister and her sister's husband and would turn the gun on himself, as well.

And then he did.

"No, no, please, no, no," Beatriz Cintora-Silva, 25, said just before a gunshot is heard during her desperate 911 call for help at 4 a.m.

Weld County deputies found four bodies at a home at 11464 Hot Springs in the LongView subdivision east of Longmont early Tuesday.

Weld County Sheriff John Cooke confirmed Tuesday that Sanchez, 31, shot and killed his ex-girlfriend, Beatriz Cintora-Silva, 25, who had been staying with her sister and brother-in-law after she left Sanchez on Thanksgiving after a physical fight. Sanchez also shot and killed Maria Cintora-Silva, 22, and Max Aguirre Ojeda, 32.
